Please, tell me why I'm wrong.

Wrong in general, or just about the location of the affiliates?

I think they're fine where they are (though you might be missing at least one), but it might be a good idea not to link to so many sites that reproduce the same content. I've been seeing a lot of repeats on vidz and pix. I'm thinking, "Oh, great, so that's where it came from," but I don't really have the the patience to sort through whole sites of NSFW Threadiness.

Hokay, then. Please suggest some!

I've been trying to think of sites that would actually link back to us and I'm coming up blank. All I can think of are sites like rotten and spaceghetto that basically reproduce what we laughably refer to as our content.

I was thinking along the same lines with my own suggestions.

Here's another, a bit of a long shot: http://kissingsuzykolber.uproxx.com/. (I am generally bored to tears by sports, but the writing on Kissing often makes me laugh out loud. Some of their readers might be Our Kind.)

However, there is also benefit in attracting audiences from similar sites; we already know they like this kind of stuff.

Thanks. Maybe we'll inspire husband™ to get off the dime. Consult the list.

I really enjoy your site. I would like to be listed as an affiliate if possible. My site is www.thelongdownwardspiral.com. Thanks for your consideration.

The premise might work, eventually, but content-wise the website in question is a little under-developed. And by "a little" of course, I mean "a lot." Get something going, fix up your spelling and grammar, change your effeminate name, and we might have something to talk about.

Considering that Les has more original material on his site than we do here (unless you count sticking a caption on a couple taped-together photos or snarky commentary on meta-aggregated weird news stories or saying bad words at each other as "original"), then I'd say there shouldn't be a problem with sticking him on the roll.

Shit it's not like a link from high street is gonna make or break somebody's hypothetically-fantastic internet career, anyway.

(You might want to work on the appearance of your website, though, Les. It's cheap looking to go with the default black-on-white theme in these barbarous times.)
